With a smartphone device, you’ll be able to adjust, combine, and set up the timing that is right for you – without the need for cables.

5. Make use of its intuitive and smart motion sensors.

A high-quality and innovative motion box has the ability to interact with other smart devices like your smartphone via Bluetooth connection, in order to learn specific motion paths and manual movements set by the user. It’s the best example of how a machine learns and interacts with its users, analyzing and remembering manually set movement for present and future use.

6. A motion box has highly-sensitive sensors to track movements.

Tracking moving subjects is one of the most exciting features that a motion box can offer to its users. With a single touch through a mobile application connected to a motion box, your camera can be set and controlled to automatically track moving objects.

Select the specific object that you want to track and this intuitive device will do its job with the highest quality and accuracy – keeping the marked, moving subject in its view at all times.

7. Witness the mesmerizing night sky with its astrophotography setting.

If the night sky fascinates you and you want to finally capture the celestial patterns in action, a motion box can help you create the most mesmerizing time-lapse video of the stars. Thanks to its functions and settings that perfectly cater to the demands of astrophotography, you can activate its star-tracking feature.

Mount your camera on a motion box capable of star tracking and witness the magnificence of the night sky. A motion box will help you accurately track and capture sharp and detailed photos of the stars – without relying on heavy and expensive camera rigs.

8. Connect a motion box to your smart device via Bluetooth.

Upgrade the power and double the capabilities of your motion box by connecting it to your smartphone device – wirelessly through Bluetooth. How? By just downloading and running its mobile application, you can easily enjoy the best of what these technologies have to offer. Through your phone, you can have the freedom to adjust the speed and the direction of your camera’s motion rig.

9. Shoot product-photography like a professional.

A motion box can be used with other devices to deliver the best results, and one perfect example is how combining this already intuitive device with a practical tool can be a great factor in shooting professional quality product photography.

With a turntable accessory and its rotating function, you can capture 360-degree product photos hassle-free. As the turntable rotates, at the same time, your camera automatically takes the photos according to your adjusted timing and settings.

Whether it is a smartphone or a digital SLR, it won’t matter as long as you have these two devices around.

Since this device is not demanding when it comes to power and energy, its battery life can last to up to 8 hours when used for video recording.
